Setting Options for Comparing Folders
This dialog allows you to set how folders will be compared by setting how different file times must be for them to be considered different and to set any time zone differences there may be between the two folders.
File Times (Advanced Settings)
These two fields set how closely the modified times of files being compared must be for them to be cosnsidered the same. The default is '1' Second.
The minimum Resolution value is 0.
A value of 0 tells FileBoss to compare file times exactly as they are.
The maximum values for Resolution are:
Days:
|
730
|
Hours
|
17,520
|
Minutes
|
1,051,200
|
Seconds
|
63,072,000
|
The default is 1 second. Normally you should NOT change the default settings unless you have a very specific reason and really know what you are doing.
Note that while Windows records File Times to the nearest 100 nanoseconds (1/10,000,000 of a second) the recorded times are not that accurate and are rounded by most systems anyway.
Time Zone Offset
The value entered in this field will be added to the Modified File Times in the 2nd folder or path being compared before any comparisons are made.
For example, if most of the files in the second folder or path are two hours earlier than the times in the first group you could enter 2 here and then those file would be considered the as having the same time.
If the times were two hours later, then enter -2 to achieve the same result.
Save as Default Settings
When checked the settings for Comparison Resolution and Time Zone Offsets are saved as the default for future comparison, i.e. they will be used in the initial Compare Folders Dialog.
If unchecked the setting in this dialog will only apply to the current operation.
If the dialog is 'Canceled' nothing will be saved no matter whether the box is checked or not
